Springtime

Springtime
The fragile beauty of new morning hopes
Whispers arise from afar
Fading like memories
That keeps on calling my name
Like everyone, like everyone, like everyone

Springtime, springtime
Springtime, springtime
Your grief rises afar
Your grief rises afar
[X 2]

Shadows covering our dreams to glow
Whispering secrets in a darkness we can feel
Like widows, I’ve learned to kneel
In a far-distance strand
We’ve lost our faith in yesterday’s embrace
When love has given what time has been taking away
Has been taking away

Echoes, like the sea
Have yet to come undone
Echoes, like the sea
Have yet to come undone
I’m drifting away

Seasons await to fall
Like hopeless children
Turning into, turning into, turning into
Another whispering sky, whispering sky
Like everyone, like everyone
We’re drifting away

Shadows covering our dreams to glow
Whispering secrets in a darkness we can feel
Like widows, I’ve learned to kneel
In a far-distance strand
We’ve lost our faith

Springtime, springtime
Springtime, springtime
Your grief rises afar
Your grief rises afar
[X 2]

Shadows covering our dreams to glow
Whispering secrets in a darkness we can feel
Like widows, I’ve learned to kneel
In a far-distance strand
We’ve lost our faith in yesterday’s embrace
When love has given what time has been taking away
Has been taking away

Springtime, springtime
I’ve been drifting away
Like everyone, like everyone, like everyone
